:O

Since the starting of May, I have not been in the pink of health. I would fall sick once every 2 weeks. Hence I had been fully utilising my 7 days of (paid and reimbursed) medical leave very well because I have been perpetually falling sick these few months. So far, I have taken 4 days of medical leave out of 7 days! I'm really an awesome and productive worker :P So much for being cheaper, better, faster. I also think that I've experienced these 3 different types of sore throats these 2 months:

1. Strep throat - sore throat that is so painful that it is difficult to swallow anything. It also comes along with a fever.
2. Normal sore throat
3. Sore throat with loss of voice

Currently, I'm experiencing the 3rd type of sore throat =.= My work totally worsens my condition because I'm required to speak/interact with job seekers everyday! During registration, handling incessant enquiries or (the worst, oops) doing forms processing, I would need to utilise my voice! :O OH MY VOICE :( It's time to rest you over the weekend before I return to battlefield on Monday :(

Over the past week, I had also faced some irritating problems with my 4th finger on my left hand! It had been painful for the last 5 days, in the sense that it feels like the nerves are pulling themselves =.= Today, there is a clearly visible bruise on it and it's a bit swollen now at the finger bridge too:( Furthermore, it feels stiff and I need to exert more force than usual to stretch it out fully. Okay I really sound like an old woman here!!!!!! Even my colleagues say so! :O I'm still wondering if I should see a Western doctor (who will prescribe painkillers only) or a Chinese doctor or to let it heal by itself. ZZZ.

On another note, I will be embarking on a new phase of my life next week! Truth to be told, I'm really very apprehensive and scared, because I'm afraid that I cannot find awesome friends like I did in school and at work. I really hope everything will work out and fall into place because my first impressions of everything are not exactly great. I'm not exactly excited either. Did I really make the right choice? :/ I truly hope so!
